There are two types of DP-slaves; simple and modular. A
simple slave
has a
fixed data length. A modular slave's data length is configurable. This type of
slave can be understood as an assembly of one or more simple slaves with one
bus address.
The upper table contains all available modules of the slave. In the case of a
simple slave, there is only one module that is automatically copied into the lower
table by ProLinx SyCon. A modular slave must be copied by the user by double-
clicking on the module or selected module in combination with the
Append
Module
button.
If a module has several inputs or outputs (sub modules), more lines appear in the
configuration table. These additional lines will be signed with a higher index in
the column
Idx
. The column
Slot
counts the modules.
Perform the following steps to configure the modules of the slave:
1
If not already present, select all modules from the upper table and insert them
in the lower table to be configurable.
2
The sequence of the modules in the lower list is important and must
correspond to the real physical slave configuration.
